The following compiles without error on dmd2.055 head, although it includes
casting shared(void*) to void* and const(void*) to void*.  alias doesn't not
have the same problems.

void main()
{
    typedef void* A;
    void AA(A a) {}
    shared A a;
    const A b;
    AA(a);
    AA(b);
}

I think this should sort it:


 MATCH TypeTypedef::constConv(Type *to)
 {
     if (equals(to))
         return MATCHexact;
-    if (ty == to->ty && sym == ((TypeTypedef *)to)->sym)
-        return sym->basetype->implicitConvTo(((TypeTypedef
*)to)->sym->basetype);
+    if (ty == to->ty && sym == ((TypeTypedef *)to)->sym &&
+        MODimplicitConv(mod, to->mod))
+        return MATCHconst;
     return MATCHnomatch;
 }

Patch breaks std.encoding:

std/encoding.d:373: Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (s[0u]) of type
const(AsciiChar) to AsciiChar
std/encoding.d:374: Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (s[0u]) of type
const(AsciiChar) to AsciiChar
std/encoding.d:380: Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (s[__dollar -
1u]) of type const(AsciiChar) to AsciiChar
std/encoding.d:381: Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (s[__dollar -
1u]) of type const(AsciiChar) to AsciiChar


Other than that, it is all good to go. :)

It should break std.windows.registry too, that's where I found it.

I don't have windows so I can't test that. ;)

Everything is fine on the *nix side of things. For std.encoding, just replace the three 'typedef ubyte' with 'alias ubyte xxx'

Since phobos and druntime don't use typedef any more, there should be no reliance on this bug any more.  Would you like to make a pull request?

This didn't work for me for some reason, I think the module relies on them being distinct types.  Using enums instead solved the problem.

A related issue is if const is part of the typedef.

typedef const(void*) type;
void bar(void* a) {}
void main()
{
    type a;
    bar(&a);
}

First off, this is a D2, not a D1 issue. D

... continued

D1 does not have shared/const, etc.

Secondly, typedefs are deprecated in D2. So this is "wontfix".
